[quote=TheBreeze]How long does it take to get a RE license? A week? Two weeks? Maybe I’ll get a RE license too so that I can partake in some of the massive government pork that is going to realtors and mortgage brokers.

Maybe you should. A lot of people just talk and never do most of the things they say they are going to do. Even if you’re intent is never to go into mainstream RE sales, doesn’t hurt especially when you plan to do 1,2,3+ transactions in the distant future, my opinion.
Realtor jokes aside…I have respect for some of the RE on this board, especially the ones that are enginerds by day and moonlight as a RE agent.
Not because it appears being RE is technically that difficult…it’s just a good portion of enginerds are freaks and geeks with 0.0% interpersonal skills. Finding an enginerd with sufficient interpersonal skills to be an relatively competent RE agent that can actually make a sales is already a pretty decent achievement imho. That and to scoop up on a good deal, from what I can see, is a huge time drain.
But you know if you want to continue doing whatever you’re doing, and if it works for you, by all means carry forward would be my advice.
